The idea of Humphreys is interesting, problem is just that it is obviously wrong. If Humphreys were right and we had a time dilatation in the outer universe, we would see all far-away events in the universe, like pulsars, supernovae, and rotation of galaxies, in a different time scale than the same events close by. This is obviously not the case. Also we would see all star light blue shifted if we had a gravity well close to the earth. This is also not the case, in contrary we see a red shift.Is there any support for Humphries on center of the universe thing? Presumably it is not overwhelming evidence. I have heard this idea elsewhere and it never made sense to me. Some folks had used the readshift notion, which, even if you reject Tift doesn't seem to require more than the expanding envelope notion.
There is a detailed analysis (and devastating destruction) of Humphreys theory on the Hugh Ross website.
